Read the following passage. In the beginnings of the last chapter, I informed you exactly when I was born; but I did not inform

you how. No; that particular was reserved entirely for a chapter by itself; besides, Sir, as you and I are in a manner perfect strangers to each other, it would not have been proper to have let you into too many circumstances relating to myself all at once.—You must have a little patience. I have undertaken, you see, to write not only my life, but my opinions also; hoping and expecting that your knowledge of my character, and of what kind of a mortal I am, by the one, would give you a better relish for the other: As you proceed further with me, the slight acquaintance which is now beginning betwixt us, will grow into familiarity; and that, unless one of us is in fault, will terminate in friendship. (from Tristram Shandy, Volume I, Chapter 6, by Laurence Sterne) The tone of this passage is _____.

Answer:

The tone of this passage is formal.

Explanation:

Also called professional or academic tone, formal tone communicates credibility, but keeps a certain distance from the reader. Therefore, only refined grammar and spelling are used.

This excerpt values ​​the technical writing and fancy words, but, of course, that manages to pass a message in a clear way. So we can classify it as a formal tone excerpt.

Answer:

Our Love Forever

The kiss we never shared

The hug that never happened

The goodbye that is now

In this world that always lets us down

I will love you forever

And never forget

The smile on your face

And when we first met

I love you

And I'm sorry

But I yearn for you

In every way

I wish I could have stayed

But this would have happened anyway

The times we never spent together

And the love we always shared

Was enough to light the flame

But not enough to keep it lit

I'll never forget you

Goodbye my love

In The Great Gatsby, what does F. Scott Fitzgerald suggest about the state of the American Dream, the people who pursue it, and
Bad White [126]
F. Scott Fitzgerald portrays the decline of the American Dream in his book The Great Gatsby. The American dream was first manifested in the Declaration of Independence in the early days of American settlement. Most immigrants were poor and the notion of the American Dream promised hope, happiness and equality. In the book, the values have shifted towards people getting as rich as they can and this can be observed in the behaviors the characters. No doubt, this new type of American Dream fails several times. It shows that there is still inequality and social discrimination as in the car-reselling scene between Tom and Wilson. Jay Gatsby is filled with hope to win the love of his life Daisy through this new kind of American Dream. He struggled hard to attain the status of the upper class. However, it failed tremendously.

Read the following sentence. Then, answer the question.
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

The dependent clause follows the independent clause in this sentence, so no comma is needed.

Explanation:

When a dependent clause follows an independent clause, there is not need to include a comma as opposed to when the dependent clause is before the independent clause.

In this case the dependent clause being "because her brother’s stereo was turned up to full volume", follows after the independent clause which is, "Beatrice was unable to concentrate on her project". There is therefore no need to put a comma.
